Precision Helper is a tool for creating and managing help projects. It focuses on the organization of existing html files, xml files, scripts, images and other resources so that the help author has the best overview of the project.

The program works natively with the Microsoft HTML Help projects format (HHP) and can publish to the CHM, WebHelp, ePUB (e-book), PDF, and the single html document formats.

Precision Helper is designed for advanced developers and authors, but provides a user-friendly environment accessible to beginners.
